Poster Design Delights! ~ Help Us Decide the Finalists!

We're in the final few days of our poster design competition for "Clowning Around" and at the time of writing this, there are sixty submitted designs on our facebook page ready to be viewed and 'liked' by the public to help us decide a shortlist to send to our judges. I've sent jpegs out to something like 285 enquirers so far so I'm expecting more completed submissions will appear in the next few days and every one brings it's own excitement as we see how people have interpreted the story and put together their designs, how they've used lettering and imagery and colour and added their own touches to the tools we gave them. There's a truly stunning variety, from all sorts of ages, countries around the entire globe, and differing levels of experience.

We've had an amazing response all round from people about the competition, the judges we have helping us, and everyone is enthusiastic and enjoying looking at the entrants posters and wondering which will win through to be the poster for 'Clowning Around' as it travels around the seven continents.

For myself, I totally love film posters. They are such a special part of filmmaking and film marketing and are often such beautiful art in their own right, that to see posters made in such abundance and variety for a film I'm helping produce is just a delight. I've really enjoyed seeing each and every one of them. And as a special perk to our production team Damien is allowing five of us, including myself, Assitant Producer Juliet Parker, 1st AD Greer, McNally, 3rd AD Blair Powell and Production Manager Katherine Evans, to choose our own favourite poster to send along to the judges as part of the shortlist. It's going to be very hard to decide and I'm not picking any favourites until after the last poster has been submitted.

YOU TOO can help us decide which posters to send to the judges by first 'liking' our Summit from Nuthin Productions facebook page and then going to the "Clowning Around" Poster Design Competition Entries gallery in our photographs section and you will see the 'like' options where you can click to 'like' your favourite designs so we can see which posters are most popular and select a further five popular and representative posters to go along to the Judges. We'd love to have your input and insights into what you think best suits our film.

Here's to a bumper amount of submissions between now and midnight on 12th. We hope that everyone's stellar work will be widely viewed and appreciated. It's certainly all very much appreciated by us. *:o)
